Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of photo of my vehicle should I send?+
A sharp three-quarter front photo is ideal: it gives the vehicle volume. You can attach several detail photos (rims, interior, headlights).
Do you draw every brand and category of vehicle?+
Yes. From popular youngtimers to modern supercars, and everything in between — farm tractors, motorbikes, lorries and Vespas. Aston Martin, Mustang, Corvette, Harley-Davidson: no machine scares me.
Can you add the owner or the driver at the wheel?+
Absolutely — it's the most requested option: I caricature the driver, their family or friends happily settled in or on the vehicle. That's where the illustrator's work really shines — a setting, a scene, a story.
What's an original gift for a car or motorbike enthusiast?+
A hand-drawn portrait of their car, motorbike or lorry, made from your photographs: an original signed watercolour on A3 paper, from €195. A gift idea that works for Father's Day, Christmas, a birthday, a retirement or a freshly passed test.
How long does a car drawing take?+
Once the sketch is approved, the Indian-ink drawing and watercolour colouring are finished and delivered within 5 to 7 working days.
Can I ask for adjustments to the vehicle drawing?+
Yes — your satisfaction comes first. I adjust the bodywork lines or the rim details in pencil before applying the final ink.
How are car drawings packaged for delivery?+
Every A3 original is shipped flat in a box, never an envelope.
Is the drawing made by a human, or with AI?+
By a human, from the first pencil line to the last brush stroke. Sébastien Rieu has been a caricaturist for 25 years and was filmed at his drawing table by France 3 national television. No AI, no filter, no tracing — and a progress photo of your own drawing is available on request.
